The following guidelines and procedures apply to individuals incurring University business-related travel expenses. These procedures are part of the overall Travel Expense Policy of Washington University in St. Louis developed to provide University travelers with a reasonable level of service and comfort at the lowest possible cost to the University.
Policies apply to anyone traveling on official University business including all employees of the University, students whose travel expenses are being reimbursed by the University, and non-employees who have been invited to the University or who have been authorized to travel on behalf of the University. It is our responsibility to ensure travelers are aware of University policy, and it is the traveler’s responsibility to comply with this policy.
Please see the Quick Reference Sheet for a quick reference on what to do before, during, and after your trip. The Financial Services site outlines the Washington University policies in general terms. To view the complete Policy Statement for Travel Advances and Travel Expenses as well as an Executive Summary, please see the Forms tab. Links to travel-related forms are provided on the Forms tab for your convenience.
Travel charges to a sponsored project must follow the guidelines set forth by this policy unless the funding agency imposes greater restrictions. Please refer to the terms of the grant or contract for information regarding specific expenditures that are allowed.
